And there's always a monk to get set on fire

And there's always a depth to which you can aspire

Pop had a beginning, it grew and was tended
A
Now it is rotten. Let it be ended.

Let every hopeless case that every drummer befriended,
GA
Every seven-inch that every student intended
D
Every groupie and ligger and identity seeker
A
Every druggy and drinker and every loudspeaker
Bm
Be done with, be piled up, tossed, set alight
G
No more music, thank you and goodnight.
